广播电视英语短句 第 239 课：美国城市昵称-4

Mister Fitz Gerald wrote: "The Big Apple. The dream of every lad that ever threw a leg over a thoroughbred and the goal of all horsemen. There's only one Big Apple. That's New York ."Fitz Gerald 先生写道：“‘大苹果'是每个受到良好教育的青年人梦寐以求的地方， 也是所有骑手进军的目标。‘大苹果'只有一个，那就是纽约。”

In horse racing, the expression meant "the big time," the place where large amounts of money could be won. 在骑马比赛中，这一表达的意思是“赚大钱的地方”，顾名思义，就是一个可以挣到很多钱的地方。

The Big Apple became the name of a night club in the Harlem area of New York City in nineteen thirty-four. 1943 年，“大苹果”成为纽约市哈莱姆区某一夜总会的名字。

It also was the name of a popular dance and a hit song in the nineteen thirties. 而在 20 世纪 30 年代，则指某种流行歌舞的名称。
